* 2011 Highlights
After almost two centuries of commercial mining operations, Kentucky’s domestic supply of coal remains a significant component of the Commonwealth’s economy. Kentucky was the third highest coal
producer in the United States during 2011, and coal mining was by far the largest source of energy
production in the Commonwealth. Coal mines employed more than 19,000 individuals on-site through
the year, and mining directly contributed approximately $4 billion to the economy of Kentucky. Additionally, though a quarter of the 2011 production was consumed by the Commonwealth, the much
larger market for Kentucky coal was spread across 19 different states—making the coal industry in
Kentucky a focal point of interstate energy supplies, trade, investments, and economic activity.
Rising production from western Kentucky increased statewide coal production by 1.2 percent to 106.2
million tons during 2011. Underground mines in the state accounted for 61 percent of coal production,
or 64.6 million tons, whereas surface mines supplied 41.6 million tons and 39 percent of annual production. The coal mining counties of eastern Kentucky produced 65.5 million tons of coal during 2011,
contributing 62 percent of annual production, though tonnage decreased by 3.8 percent for the year.
In the coal mining counties of western Kentucky, coal production increased by 10.8 percent compared
to 2010 to more than 40.7 million tons, representing 38 percent of annual production.
Direct coal mining employment accounted for one percent of total, statewide employment in Kentucky
during 2011, with 19,102 full-time miners. These miners worked in underground mines, surface mines,
preparation plants, and mine-site offices, and were most commonly employed at underground mine
sites which represented 52 percent of mining employment. With 370 active mines during 2011, the
coal field of eastern Kentucky led mining employment with 14,674 full-time miners—an increase of
1.6 percent from 2010. Coal mining employment in western Kentucky increased by 6.4 percent to
4,427 miners at the 26 active mine sites in the Western Coal Field. Direct mining employment
statewide increased by 2.7 percent during 2011.
Coal mine productivity decreased by two percent compared to 2010 to 2.5 tons per labor hour, but
with important differences by mine-type and region. Surface mines in Kentucky during 2011 were on
average 56 percent more efficient in production than underground mines. Regionally, average coal
mine productivity in western Kentucky was 86 percent higher than eastern Kentucky during the year.
While western Kentucky productivity has remained stable over the past five years, eastern Kentucky
productivity decreased by 6 percent from 2010 and has fallen by 46 percent since 2000.
The markets and destinations for Kentucky coal during 2011 were predominantly concentrated in 20
states, with a small market for international exports. Approximately 25 percent of the coal mined in
Kentucky during 2011 was consumed in the Commonwealth—primarily by electric utilities—making
Kentucky the largest single market for Kentucky coal. However, the vast majority of Kentucky coal—
60.6 million tons—was shipped to electric power plants in 19 different states, principally located in
the Southeast. Following Kentucky, the states of Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina were the largest
consumers of Kentucky coal during 2011. Coal producers in Kentucky exported 7.1 million tons, or 6.7
percent of total production, to foreign countries during 2011, with Canada and Mexico receiving the
majority of international exports. Small quantities of coal were also exported to customers in Europe,
China, and India during 2011.

Coal production in the United States increased to
1.09 billion tons during 2011, but remained 7%
below the pre-recession high of 1.17 billion tons
reached during 2008. Accessing substantial reserves in the Powder River Basin, the State of Wyoming remained the largest producer of coal in
2011, representing 41% of national production
with 438.2 million tons. The second largest producer during the year was West Virginia, which accounted for 13% of national production and supplied consumers with 138 million tons of low-sulfur,
Central Appalachian Basin coal.

Kentucky, the third largest producer with 10% of
national production in 2011, provided coal supplies from deposits of the Central Appalachian
Basin in the eastern portion of the state and the
Illinois Basin in the western portion of the state.
Coal production in Kentucky increased by 1% to
106.2 million tons in 2011. Peak production was
reached in 1990 when the Commonwealth mined
179.4 million tons of coal. Since 1990, statewide
coal production in Kentucky has been in decline.

* Types of Coal Mining

Several different mining methods are used in the Commonwealth to access coal deposits in the Central Appalachian
Basin of eastern Kentucky and the Illinois Basin of western
Kentucky. The selected mining approach, or combination of
mining approaches, at a given mine site is largely dictated
by local geography and hydrology, as well as the amount of
soil and rock overburden in place above a coal seam. For
simplicity of accounting, coal mines are generally divided
between surface operations and underground operations,
though several sub-categories exist to describe exact mining
approaches and mine permits.

WKY

Underground mine operations accounted for 61% of coal
production in Kentucky in 2011, with room and pillar systems being the most common form of mining method.
Various categories of surface mines accounted for 39% of
statewide production. Historically, underground mines have
provided the bulk of employment and coal production in
the state. During 2011, combined coal production from underground operations and surface operations was more
than 106 million tons with the majority of production concentrated in eastern Kentucky.

State and County-level statistics are aggregated from MSHA Form 700002 quarterly reports through 2011.

In Kentucky, coal mining is divided between two distinct geologic basins: The Central Appalachian Basin of eastern Kentucky,
and the Illinois Basin of western Kentucky. Both of these resource fields contain rich deposits of bituminous coal, and have seen
coal mining activities in numerous counties for over 100 years. In 2011, coal production in the Commonwealth reached more
than 106 million tons, with 62% of tonnage originating in the coal mining counties of eastern Kentucky. Over the last 35 years
the Eastern Coal Field has on average accounted for 75% of annual statewide production. However, though Pike County in
eastern Kentucky remained the single largest producer with more than 15 million tons, the major coal mining counties of western Kentucky have substantially increased production since 2002 and represented five of the top eight producing counties in
2011.

Following the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of
1977 (SMCRA), annual coal production in Kentucky has been
consistently led by underground operations.

The coal fields of Kentucky produced 106 million tons of coal
in 2011. For the year, the coal mining counties of eastern
Kentucky remained the largest concentration of production,
representing 62% of statewide tonnage. Coal mined in western Kentucky reached 40 million tons, and represented 38%
of total production. Overall, the statewide trend in coal production has been downward since 1990. However, recent
regional trends have been different, with western Kentucky
substantially increasing production since 2002 while eastern
Kentucky production has continued to decline.

Coal production in Kentucky was led by underground mines
in 2011. Accounting for 64 million tons and 61% of total
tonnage, underground operations increased production levels
slightly, compared with 2010. Surface mine operations,
which generated 41 million tons of coal, also increased production compared to the previous year, with the majority of
surface production located in eastern Kentucky. The relative
share of production from surface and underground operations has remained fairly stable since the year 2000.

The coal field of eastern Kentucky, part of the Appalachian
Basin, contains deposits of bituminous coal characterized by
high heat content and numerous beds with low sulfur content.
In 2011, production in eastern Kentucky was more than 65
million tons with a nearly even split between underground
and surface operations. Pike County remained the largest
producer of coal within the region and the state, accounting
for 23% of eastern coal production. Perry County and Harlan County were the next largest producers, representing
20% and 15% of regional production, respectively.

In 2011, the majority of active coal mines in eastern Kentucky involved surface operations. Different from mining in
western Kentucky, the Eastern Coal Field has many more active mines as well as a substantial proportion of small mines.
These differences are a function of the size and location of
accessible coal seams, and the topography of eastern Kentucky. Ultimately, these factors influence mining techniques in
the region and help explain the nearly even split in production between surface and underground operations.

Since 2002, underground mine development in western Kentucky counties has resulted in increasing production for the
region. Though there were an equal amount of active underground and surface mines in 2011, the size and productivity
of underground mines in western Kentucky accounted for
78% of regional production.

Coal produced in western Kentucky comes from the Illinois
Basin, and typically has a moderately high heat content and
high sulfur content. Through 2011, coal mines in the region
produced 40.7 million tons with the majority of this total from
underground operations. Of the seven counties that registered coal production in 2011, Union County was the largest
producer with 30% of regional production. Though the region accounted for 38% of statewide production, five of the
top eight most productive counties in the state were located
in western Kentucky during the year.

10

In addition, the topographic location of economically accessible coal seams in western Kentucky differs from deposits in
eastern Kentucky. The gentle topography and basinal structure of the western Kentucky coalfield limits surfaceaccessible coal to the outer margin of the basin, and helps
explain why surface mining has declined and underground
mining has increased in the region since 1988.

*Totals labeled “Out-of-State” represent shipments of coal
to consumers within the United States, and may also be considered domestic exports. A difference of approximately
11.2 million tons exists between total production and total
distribution in the table above. This gap can be explained
by coal stockpiling, lags in data reporting, calendar year
parameters, comparison of statistics across multiple data
sources, and reporting errors.

The annual distribution of coal mined in Kentucky is a combination of in-state consumers, out-of-state power plants and
factories, and foreign exports. Demand from out-of-state
consumers has consistently been the largest component of
Kentucky coal deliveries since 1990.
In 2011, the largest portion (43%) of Kentucky coal deliveries were domestic exports of eastern Kentucky coal, involving
customers outside of the Commonwealth but within the United
States. The next most common destination of Kentucky coal in
2011 was in-state deliveries of coal from western Kentucky,
followed by domestic exports of western Kentucky coal. Foreign exports of Kentucky coal represent a small percentage
of total production, and combined accounted for approximately 8% of coal shipments in 2011. In-state consumption
of eastern Kentucky coal was the smallest portion of Kentucky coal deliveries during the year.

The market variables affecting the use of imported coal in
Kentucky primarily involve price, heat content of a particular
coal, and the sulfur content of a particular coal. For electrical
power generation, electric utilities must balance the financial
and environmental costs of these factors when purchasing
coal. As a result, electric utilities, municipalities, and power
producers blend coal from in-state and out-of-state sources
so as to maintain a diversified fuel resource while complying
with environmental regulations. Since 1990, electric utilities in
Kentucky have increasingly used higher sulfur coal, a trend
accelerated through the installation of sulfur dioxide scrubbers on many coal-fired generators throughout the state.
(Nationally, many other electric utilities have elected to install similar environmental control systems, thereby altering
traditional coal sourcing requirements). The net result of these
decisions in Kentucky, specifically, has been an increasing
reliance on western Kentucky coal supplies, and a diminishing
demand for eastern Kentucky coal. Additionally, the relatively low price of coal from several western states has also increased imports for electric power generation.
